Different kinds of diplomacy take their forms due to the prevalent different 'modes'. For example a summitry diplomacy is the norm these days, in this diplomacy , the mode is that the head of states meet together to discuss problems and try to reach a conclusion. This has also given rise to multilateral diplomacy.

So in essence modes and types are one in same !

Diplomacy:-

Art of conducting relationships for gain without conflict. It is the chief instrument of foreign policy. Its methods include secret negotiation by accredited envoys (though political leaders also negotiate) and international agreements and laws. Its use predates recorded history. The goal of diplomacy is to further the state's interests as dictated by geography, history, and economics. Safeguarding the state's independence, security, and integrity is of prime importance; preserving the widest possible freedom of action for the state is nearly as important. Beyond that, diplomacy seeks maximum national advantage without using force and preferably without causing resentment.

It is largely designed to enable states to secure the objective of their foreign policies by interacting with the other states preferably without a resort to force in war.
